Something that I would like to feature that I often hear from Richard Byrne as a great resource for Social Studies or any subject dealing with current events is CNN Student News. CNN offers a customized student version of their daily news from their journalists and educators. The main feature of their site is their 10min commercial-free daily news program. It is a very informative, catchy and fun program designed with Middle and High School students in mind, highlighting some of the daily top stories. Each of the videos can be embedded into your Moodle site for easy student access. Today's CNN Student News highlights are:
- Greece's economic issues effecting global change
- India's endeavor to track all of it's people
- The unusual circumstance with this year's Nobel Prize
- And more
CNN Student News offers transcripts of their shows, discussion topics, colorful downloadable maps of the countries in the news, plus CNN's Heroes section. Check out "What is CNN Student News?" for information on their content.
